Reminds me of the first time I saw an American ice cream when I was around 12 and on my first trip to the US. The size of it! Each scoop was at least twice the size of one at home. I went absolutely wild and told my parents we should move in that amazing country. I felt so betrayed when they refused. But it was my most memorable memory of that trip, the size of the ice cream.

I remember something that amazed me when I went to Europe with my parents to visit relatives was that the grocery stores had American breakfast cereal on their shelves! For some odd reason, I thought everything had to be different in a different country.

About The Buckets

Art holds a mirror up to Nature. The Buckets come along, turn the mirror on Art and say, “Look how goofy you’re acting. Now get to work, Art. Your kids need an Xbox 360.”

The Buckets comic strip isn’t a parody of family life. Parodies are filled with hearts and rainbows or enraged tirades and dramatic confrontation. The Buckets, though? Nope. Real life, baby. It’s funny because it’s on a page and not in your house at the moment. Next week, when it’s happening to you, you’ll thank us for reminding you that it’s supposed to be funny.

Greg Cravens looks in the mirror and see not himself, but all of us. And then he draws up the silly, grand, goofy, thrilling, utterly human things we do and calls it The Buckets.
